People with kidney stones and those prone to have them should avoid chard. This is because of the oxalic acid, a compound that increases the formation of stones in the kidneys. Also, the high levels of oxalic acid may lower the absorption of calcium.

People who suffer from hypocalcemia must cook the chard before eating it to reduce oxalic acid. This vegetable is rich in vitamin K and must be avoided by people who take anticoagulants.
